Develop interest in life as you see it; in people, things, literature, music – the world is so rich, simply throbbing with rich treasures, beautiful souls and interesting people. Forget yourself. Henry Miller
How many times have to attempted to read a page of your book and 3 pages later you don't know what you read - you were caught up in your thoughts and not present. Children are always present and in the moment. They are not caught up in their thoughts - that is because they are in the moment...so they are not caught up in their thoughts...
Practice. The next time you are at a stop light waiting for it to change, gaze upon a building that is unkempt and old. See the angles and shadows worn by nature. Observe the swirl of the peeling paint, like abstract art, moving and flowing without effort. See the chipped cement with its smooth contours and sharp edges. The ridges are a virtual mosaic of sensation and texture. The building becomes alive; the building has a pulse, a history, a frequency of vibration.
